1.   The  vertex  is    (-3, -5)

The axis of symmetry   is   x  =  -3

 

2.   To find the x intercepts

 

2x^2 + 13x  -  7   =    0 

 

(2x -1)  ( x + 7)   =   0

 

Set  both factors to 0   and solve  for  x  and we  get that    x =   1/2 =  q     and  x  =   -7   =   p

 

3.   Something left out  here

 

 The x-intercepts of the parabola y=x^2+bx are  ??? and  ???

im sorry for number 3 its The x-intercepts of the parabola y=x^2+bx are (-3,0)  and  (5,0) Find the equation of the parabola, and submit your answer in y=ax^2+bx+c form.

The   x coordinate  of vertex  will   occur   halfway  between the x intercepts  =  (5 - 3) /2  =  1

 

And the x coordinate of the  vertex =   -b / (2a)       where a   = 1   

 

So

 

-b / 2  =  1

 

b  =  -2

 

And   since (5,0)  is on the  graphm we can solve for  c  thusly

 

0 =  5^2  - 2(5)  + c

0 = 15 + c

c =  -15

 

So  the equation  is

 

y = x^2  -2x  - 15
